Tour of Verona

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene... The famous line from Shakespeare's greatest tragedy makes it impossible to detach Verona from the love story of Romeo and Juliet. And the history of the Capulets and Montagues comes to life as you wander through the enchanting cobblestone streets of ‘little Rome.’ Verona is also about Renaissance art, outstanding medieval architecture, food traditions, and impressive Roman ruins. The city’s remarkably well-preserved 1st-century amphitheater is one of the best places in the world to see the opera. Additionally, the countryside surrounding Verona produces one of the best red wines in Italy, Amarone.
